E.On keeping engineers productive, even when signal drops with Joblogic
With engineers working in remote locations, E.ON needed mobile field service software that stays reliable offline, keeps job updates flowing back to the office, and helps teams work faster day to day
The story in brief
E-ON UK is one of the country’s leading energy suppliers, delivering electricity and gas to millions of homes and businesses while managing complex networks of critical infrastructure. With a strong focus on operational excellence, safety and customer service, the company supports a broad range of energy-related services that require robust planning, compliance and field maintenance.
Across its extensive asset base, E-ON relies on a dispersed workforce of engineers and field technicians to deliver reactive repairs, planned maintenance and emergency response work. Coordinating high volumes of activity across diverse locations demands clear communication and effective oversight to ensure consistent performance and service delivery.
As business demands grew and workflows became more complex, E-ON recognised the need for a more connected and efficient way of managing jobs and assets. This led the organisation to seek a solution that could centralise information, improve visibility and strengthen operational control across its field-based operations.
With a large UK customer base, E.ON needed to maximise field efficiency and find a more cost-effective, user-friendly alternative to their previous setup. Engineers also needed to keep working in areas with poor signal.
Joblogic provided a mobile engineer app with offline capability, two-way communication between office and field, mobile forms for health and safety compliance, and engineer tracking for visibility and productivity.
E.ON improved usability and efficiency, with offline working allowing engineers to complete tasks uninterrupted and sync job information back to the office once back in range. This contributed to higher engineer output each month.

Challenge & Opportunity
E.ON needed field service software that improves efficiency and stays reliable for engineers working in remote locations, without high mobile costs or clunky usability.
Previous setup was becoming too expensive for mobile use
Needed a more user-friendly system for day-to-day work
Engineers work in remote areas where signal is unreliable
Needed clearer visibility of job status and field activity
Health and safety checks needed to be handled consistently on site
A mobile-first platform that works offline, improves visibility, and keeps job information flowing between engineers and the back office in real time.
Enable offline job completion with automatic sync back to the office
Create live, two-way updates between office and field teams
Improve job tracking so progress is visible from anywhere
Increase field visibility with GPS-based engineer tracking
Support compliant on-site processes using mobile forms
“The biggest improvement has been the time saved daily. Visibility of my staff thanks to live GPS and job tracking has helped me know where staff are at all times, as well as knowing which jobs are completed and outstanding. This has saved my electricians an extra hour per day, which has increased the number of daily jobs they can complete as well.”

The Joblogic features E.On uses most
Joblogic's bespoke Mobile Forms enable E.ON’s field engineers to be compliant with all of the health and safety requirements prior to completing a task onsite. The mobile app allows forms to be custom made using the mobile form builder, giving management the freedom to create mobile forms that are adjusted to their specific industry requirements.
Mobile Engineer App
Joblogic's Mobile Engineer app has created live, two-way communication between members in the office and engineers in the field. Jobs can be deployed to E.ON’s engineers and reported on remotely, to ensure that all information is mistake-free.
Mobile Engineer Tracking
The Mobile Engineer Tracking functionality enhances the visibility of E.ON’s field staff by tracking their mobile device to ensure managers know where they are at all times. This also provides a means of observing the engineers' productivity so they can be managed more effectively.
